Howdy -
My name is legofreak, and I am now hooked on the whole Warhammer 40K genre.
It started about a year ago when a buddy of mine asked me if I would be willing to make some Warhammer Wizardsfor him as he was into the original tabletop game. (I'd played a little DnD in my younger years, but had never heard of WH until this time).
Well, shortly after that I found a few books from the Black Library at a used bookstore, including Trollslayer.
And needless to say it's a far more interesting world than any other I'd encountered.
A few more months went by, and I started amassing more and more books, and began work on more figsfor myself.
Then one fateful day at Barnes and Nobles I found the Ultramarines Omnibus.....
and that was it man! I'd been a huge fan of Starcraft, and Space marines in general, but the whole WH40k?! - Wow! I now grab as many books on the Adeptus Astartes as I can find (and I really really want one of those posters that shows the top hundred chapters ah well, as soon as my budget stretches a bit.)
Fantastic stuff - As I am sure you are all aware.
Well, after going through some personal issues, and some ups and downs in life, I am glad to say that I finally got a decent computer that could play DOW (I waited for the Gold edition as I am a cheap bas****) and my obsession is now in full bloom once more.
The first modding I did was to create a bunch of badges and banners for lego factions - although I can see I am going to have to redo all the banners now that I see some of the great stuff around here!
Currently I am at work on making Lego minifigs with custom Space Marine armor (I have already made a chainsword and a bolter for my prototype fig) and I'll be sure to post a link here when I have one ready for show.
At any rate, sorry to be so long winded, but there are very few forums that I choose to participate in, and honestly the others are lego related.. but heck - this modding stuff is fun. SO be prepared for some obvious questions (I'll try to keep those to a minimum) and some wild enthusiasm (I don't do things by halves!)
